Thursday 2 June 2011 L.I. We are learning to draw conclusions from our findings and make recommendations.
Conclusion:
According to your survey students prefer to read a book that is about an adventure between some friends.
Another thing the survey showed was that more people judge a book by its cover which means the cover has to look good.
64 % of students like a book to be written in first person point of view.
Our survey showed that most students would prefer a book that has a element of truth in it
The results also show that when the story ends they should solve the mystery and another mystery should unravels.
The majority of students say that the main characters should be humans and be written in present tense.
The students would prefer the book if the main setting is the city.
When they read the book they would like the book to make them laugh and feel excited.
Recommendation:
The Rimu novel should be a story about two friends which are the main characters going on a adventure in the city. They where at school one day and when they came home that day they found that there was a note written on the bench. The note said that there parents had been kidnapped and were to go looking for them there parents will die. The adventure will also travel though the country side where they will meet a stranger that turns out to be the guy that kidnapped there parents. There is a huge action scene where the kids brake free and save there parents and stop the ad guys for good. The bad guy is also a main character, all of the main character's will be humans. The story will be set in the present so there is some only things that there are now.
